Interestingly enough, this is how the entire Internet was before the likes of Google and Facebook. Corporate and government interests have wonderfully coordinated to destroy free speech and liberty.
The concept and ideas behind voat used to be every day and most everywhere. Not to be confused with the underlying narrative pushed here. Or that the political environment was the same. Yet even those have always existed in some form or fashion on the Internet.
Anyone who says censorship and fascism doesn't exist need simply look at the history of the Internet to be proved embarrassingly wrong.
This isn't fascism. I have to always explain this, but I will do it again. Fascism talks about corporatism, this is not the same as corpocracy. Corporatism is about class cooperation, and the government serving as a good faith mediator between big business and the people, in the interests of the nation. Whereas in corpocracy, the government is beholden to the monied interests, it helps big businesses screw over the little people, it puts international profit-making over the interests of the nation-state.
'corpocracy' basically means that large business control the government and craft policy in their interest. It's basically what normies conflate with corporatism.

I hadn't heard the term corpocracy before. Are there any reading materials you suggest to learn more about this distinction?
